Turn it off please, it's very inconvenient when trying to access the channel itself, searching for new/old videos I would like to get to the channel content directly, w/o having the stream get shoved into my face every time Also, why was it necessary in the first place?

not sure whether this was asked before but how does warranty work globally? is it case by case? should I contact local ASUS/MSI/AMD/EVGA dealer?

Sorry, forgot to mention that It's GTX 980 HOF by Galax/KFA2 Also, an update, after 3+ days fan speed came back to normal on its own Still, I think that it might be dead, because when I try to game on it, I get crashes/artifacts/"GPU driver stopped working" issue

I've just tried 2 different curves: default and custom one None of them seemed to have any effect on fan speed (GPU temp was around 30C) Screenshot from GPUZ shows that 40% fan speed = 3200rpm (same as EVGA precision) And it is actually really loud, so smth is wrong here. It is not 40%, it's 100% for sure Visually all 3 fans seem to spin at the same speed

I've tried afterburner as well And it also does not allow me to reduce fan speed GPU temp is quite low, why does the fan rev up to full speed at 35C?

Hello, I am having a problem with my GPU fan speed Fan speed is always at 3200+ RPM, even when idle EVGA precision shows 40% and 3200 RPM When I set it to 100% - percentage does change, but RPM stays the same GTX 980, win 7 x64, latest NVIDIA drivers, tried DDU screenshots from EVGA precision:

Actually, I was thinking in this direction.. I've looked through the specs of GTX980 and GTX960 a week ago to find out the amount of amps required for the GPU.. My PSU is almost 2 years old..btw what's wrong with TT PSUs? I will try to get another PSU for testing..let's hope for the best

So..an update.. Swapped GPUs with my GF.. Now I have Gigabyte GTX 960 Windforce OC in my system. Her PC specs: CPU: i5 4690 MB: MSI H97 PC Mate GPU: My Galax GTX980 HOF RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX Fury (2 sticks x 4 Gb) PSU: Cooler Master Thunder M 520W Storage: SSD + HDD Single monitor setup connected by HDMI We've been playing the same game for 2 weeks now. So far she had that pixelation thing that I've mentioned in the 1st post, but only twice (during this 2 week period of time). Other sympthoms were not present on her PC. Average play time was ~3 hours per day. Compared to when I had GTX980 in my system, she has no problems at all. As for me - I had 0 issues with GTX960 during these 2 weeks. This is getting interesting...

The BIOS. Actually I forgot to mention. I've also updated the BIOS trying to solve the issue. After updating it, the anti-surge turned back on and I got the anti-surge shutdown once again. Yes, I will try that as soon as I get back from holidays This theory actually makes a lot of sense.. =) But I wouldn't want to start this kind of discussion here

I will try that out. Thanks!

I actually do have HWmonitor installed. But what should I be looking for there? When my PC freezes completely, screens might go black, so I am unable to see the latest stats. I've been using the system for almost 2 years now. During this period of time the GPU was only overclocked for a month or so. Right now I actually downclocked the card, hoping that it might help. Which did..But not for long =)

Hello, there I think that my GPU might be dying..There are multiple different symptoms, which might be caused by different things, but the recent one made me think that it is probably the GPU. Full specs: CPU: i7 4790k (not overclocked at the moment) MB: ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark S GPU: Galax GTX980 HOF (it was overclocked for a very short period of time) RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX Fury 1866MHz (4 sticks x 4 Gb) PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower XT Platinum 1275W Snow Edition Storage: SK hynix SH910 - OS, Samsung 850 EVO - games, WD Black - storage Dual monitor setup. Both connected by DP. Symptoms: 1) A few month ago, my PC started to shutdown randomly, while gaming. This was caused by ASUS anti-surge protection. I've done some googling and turned it off in UEFI. Might not be the smartest thing to do... 2) After that it was OK for a few month. And then...Sudden PC freezes while gaming. Complete system freeze with a crazy sound loop, keyboard and mouse are not functioning. Sometimes even the reset button is not working, so I have to hold the power button to shut down. The game itself is not demanding. It is an ~8 years old MMORPG. This happens more often that the next 2 symptoms; 3) Nvidia drivers stopped responding...First both monitors go black, then a couple of seconds later everything is back to normal. Sometimes it does not go back to normal. Primary monitor which has a game on is still black, while the secondary one is OK; 4) Pixelation thing (artifacts?) that can be seen on a screenshot below. It only happens on a primary monitor, which displays a game. I can still play the game, restarting the game brings it back to normal. What I've tried so far: 1) Different driver versions - 385, 353, 362. I've been using DDU to remove the drivers before installing another version. 2) Remove braided PSU extensions and connect GPU power directly using original PSU cables. While doing so, I found out that 2 pins on an 8-pin connector were 2-3mm off. For better understanding, I've made a reconstrucion of how it was and took a photo: I plugged everything properly and this fixed a problem for a whole day. Then it came back again =) Also, I noticed that there was a single power cable for 2x8-pin power connectors. So I decided to try and use 2 separate 8-pin cables; 3) Swapping GPU. So I took GTX960 from another PC and it worked for 1-2 hours without any problems. Probably will test it for a couple of days next time, I shall also put my GPU in another PC and see what happens there; 4) Increasing GPU voltage in MSI afterburner. Did not help; 5) Decreasing GPU clock in MSI afterburner. Did help for a few hours; 6) Cleaned the GPU rad and fans, re-applying the thermal compound. So...Is it really dying? =( And how could I know for sure?
